Waterfiends


My_Eggs

Recommended Posts

So, I've been doing quite a bit of waterfiend killing lately since Duradel has decided to give them to me like crazy. Anyways, after aquiring my barrows gloves today, my damage has increased a bit so I decided I'd try my whip at waterfiends. Of course, it is said that they are resistant to slash and stab, and weak against crush. Yet with my whip and flashing chivalry, I managed to hit 42s on them, while flashin chiv with my v flail, I was only managing 38s... I also noticed I wasn't really missing that much with the whip+def combo, so my question is this, is it really better to use crush on them? I seem to be getting faster kills with slash. :o

 

 

 

So how do you guys kill them?

Well if you can get perty good kills with a whip go ahead. I've used an ss and accidentally left it on slash got it about half health then hit a bunch of zeros turned it to crush and killed really fast.

Whip is so fail against waterfiends.

 

 

 

It is vital you use a crush weapon like a zammy spear or sara sword for faster and more efficient kills.

I think you just got lucky with hitting it a fair bit because in the long run slash or stab attacks on waterfiends you will hit 0 after 0 after 0 after 0 and ultimately end up at best halving your trip length thus doubling your supply consumption.

 

 

 

The reason you hit harder is the whip is because the whip has +10 more str bonus, but hitting harder isn't always better. Simply because with the whip you are hugly less likely to hit damage at all on a waterfiend.

It isn't impossible to kill them with whip, it's just slower than using a crush weapon. It doesnt matter how high you hit just how consistent your hits are.

 

 

 

I know I posted a few mins ago but he summed it up so well.

 

 

 

U may hit a 42 with a whip. But across time with whip you're gonna hit so many 1,2 and 0 that on average you will be doing much less damage

 

 

 

opposed to a crush wep where u will hit 10+ most of the time thus giving u a greater damage rate.

Well, just got assigned another 164 waterfiends (Whats up with that? He goes from never assigning them for me to 3 tasks of em in a day....) Anyways, I am hitting consitently with the whip, I was there a bit ago and I was killing faster than another person there with a v flail who was 5 lvls higher than me. I'll test out the whip compaired to the v flail tomorrow and do some time tests. Going to bed for now though, thanks for the responses guys.

It depends on what you compare it too.

 

 

 

I heard whip is better than v flail, d mace, torag hammers, anchor, etcc

 

but worse than

 

godsword, zammy spear, sara sword

Ancient staff+Rune defender is quite good.

 

 

 

If you don't want negative prayer use Iban's staff, but you lose 5 magic defense.

If you can't buy a Sara Sword, Z Spear or a Godsword, or at least borrow one from a friend, Whip is your best option. It is much better then the Flail, D Mace, or Hammers.

Omg, I forgot about this. I heard about it somewhere and was planning on trying it, but never got around to it. Now I'm there with the ancient staff+def and I'm killing em faster than the lvl 131 with a sgs (I'm 121). Ancient staff+def is the way to go, better than whip for sure. I can max 36 with sup str pot and chiv flashing with this staff, and almost never miss them. Thanks for the help.

Godswords suck for regular monsters, that's why you're killing them faster than the 131. I've tested it and ss/ zs is the best weapon. Don't bother with crap that happens to have a crush bonus.

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.
